52. Visiting the sick
The next day, Zhou Huai left with Zhang Kun, the filming of the previous drama was shelved halfway due to a sudden accident, and now that he has almost adjusted, it is time to join the group, after all, this drama drags on every day for a lot of money.
So Zhou Huai began to return to the crew and the Bo family every day, and only returned to Zhou's house once in a while. Qiu Hui and Zhou Shifeng heard that Bo Jinxi was ill, and specially took Zhou Nianzi to visit Bo's house.
At first, Zhou Huai was still very worried that Zhou Shifeng would have a bad face when he saw Bo Jinxi, but he didn't know if it was his slowing down or Qiu Hui's credit, Zhou Shifeng's face had been good all night, and Bo Jinxi also said some words of condolence with a pleasant face, and when he saw Bo Mingcheng, he became even more enthusiastic, and asked him how he was in good health recently.
Bo Mingcheng was obviously very happy to see Zhou Huai's parents, and with a smile on his face, he told Xiaohui to go grocery shopping, and later directly said that he would show his hands to make a few dishes.
Where was Qiu Hui willing to let Bo Mingcheng cook, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Bo, you are so polite, where can you cook!" She smiled: "You see if you don't dislike it, I'll come!" β
"Hey, this can't be done, you are guests, how can I trouble you." Bo Mingcheng shook his head again and again.
Zhou Huai smiled on the side: "Don't fight, I'll come." β
Zhou Huai has been working outside for all these years, and although his cooking skills are not very good, they are also good. Zhou Shifeng, Qiu Hui and Bo Mingcheng were chatting in the living room, and he and Xiaohui were cooking in the kitchen.
Bo Mingcheng hadn't seen Zhou Nianzi for many years, and when he saw him, he liked him so much that he held him in his arms and coaxed him to chat. Zhou Nianzi met Bo Mingcheng for the first time, but he had heard Zhou Huai tell a lot of interesting things about him before, and he was already very familiar with Bo Jinxi before.
At first, Qiu Hui was worried that Zhou Nianzi would be annoyed if he talked too much, but the Bo family was used to being deserted on weekdays, and at this time, it was too late for Bo Mingcheng to be happy, where would he be annoyed.
Bo Mingcheng and Zhou Huai's parents haven't seen each other for many years, and meeting at this time is like opening a chatterbox, no matter how much they talk, they can't talk enough, and they talk until more than ten o'clock in the evening.
Qiu Hui looked at the time and was obviously surprised: "Yo, it's past ten o'clock," she said a little embarrassedly: "I'm so happy to see you, I even forgot the time, and we talked so late." β
Zhou Shifeng also spoke: "Yes, Uncle Bo, I'm disturbing your rest, Xiaohui and I will go back." β
Bo Mingcheng didn't notice that he was chatting so late, he waved his hand at the two of them, and whispered: "It's so late, don't toss back and forth, let's stay here for one night." Besides, Nianzi is sleeping soundly, and I'm afraid that he won't be able to sleep well when he gets up. β
Zhou Nianzi was young after all, and after nine o'clock, he nodded sleepily, and when he saw that the adults couldn't interject when they couldn't interject, he leaned on the sofa and fell asleep, and he slept soundly at this time. Zhou Huai was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he took a blanket and covered him on his body.
"No, Uncle Bo," Qiu Hui said with a smile: "There is still something at home, Shi Feng and I will go back first, and come to visit you another day." β
At this point, Bo Mingcheng didn't want to say anything more, and nodded: "Okay then," he patted Zhou Shifeng's shoulder affectionately: "But you agreed, but you have to come often!" β
Zhou Shifeng also smiled: "Of course, of course." β
Zhou Shifeng wanted to pick up Zhou Nianzi, but was stopped by Zhou Huai: "Dad, Nianzi doesn't have to go to class tomorrow anyway, let him stay here for one night, he won't be comfortable moving him back and forth." β
During this time, Zhou Huai was too busy with things and rarely had time to go back to Zhou's house, Zhou Nianzi kept thinking about his brother, and at this time Zhou Huai said this, Zhou Shifeng also agreed: "Okay, then bother Uncle Bo." β
Bo Mingcheng originally liked Zhou Nianzi, and at this time, he wished that Zhou Nianzi would stay with him for a few more days, and happily left Zhou Nianzi behind.
After Zhou Huai sent Zhou Shifeng and Qiu Hui away, he carefully picked up Zhou Nianzi and walked upstairs lightly, but he didn't expect Zhou Nianzi to wake up with a chirp before he reached the door.
Zhou Huai tightened him into his arms and asked in a low voice, "Did you wake up?" β
Zhou Nianzi slept in a daze, and at this time he reached out and rubbed his eyes, and asked, "What time is it?" β
"It's almost eleven o'clock." Zhou Huai whispered: "Go to sleep." β
Zhou Nianzi shook his head and became energetic, he reached out to hug Zhou Huai's neck, looked around and asked, "What about Dad and Mom?" β
"They went back first," Zhou Huai looked down at him: "I was afraid of waking you up just now, so I didn't call you." β
Zhou Nianzi nodded: "Brother, you let me down, I can go by myself." β
"It's okay, you're not heavy."
Zhou Nianzi buried his head in Zhou Huai's neck and asked in a muffled voice, "Brother, then will you sleep with me tonight?" β
"Hmm."
Zhou Nianzi's expression immediately became happy, and he raised his head again and asked, "Then accompany me for breakfast tomorrow morning?" β
Zhou Huai said "um" again.
"Great!"
Zhou Nianzi was so happy to hear Zhou Huai say that he could play with him all day tomorrow, and he couldn't sleep after returning to the room, the whole person was buried in the soft quilt and only his head was exposed.
Zhou Huai saw that he had been staring at him, and couldn't help but reach out and rub his hairy head: "Why don't you sleep." β
"Not sleepy." Zhou Nianzi looked at Zhou Huai intently: "Brother, let's chat!" β
Zhou Huai smiled, stretched out his hand to lift the quilt and lay down with Zhou Nianzi, Zhou Nianzi was a small chatter, and he couldn't stop when he saw his brother's mouth.
Zhou Huai didn't bother him, and took him into his arms and listened to his nagging.
Zhou Nianzi was chattering to him about the things in his class, when Zhou Huai's mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was Bo Jinxi.
Zhou Huai clicked on the message sent by Bo Jinxi, it was a compressed text, he held Zhou Nianzi with one hand and uncompressed the text with one hand, and then the corners of his lips hooked up and smiled--it was a scanned copy of the pages of an ancient book. He had been looking for the remnants of this ancient book for a long time, but because the age was too long, he couldn't find it in many places, and he accidentally mentioned it when chatting with Bo Jinxi a few days ago, but he didn't expect him to remember it, and he specially sent the scanned copy over.
Zhou Huai pursed his lips and said, "Thank you." β
After a while, Bo Jinxi's message came back: "Is Nianzi asleep?" β
"Not yet, maybe I've just slept enough, and now I'm in good spirits, and I'm chattering endlessly."
"Are you sleepy?"
"Okay."
Zhou Huai was replying to Bo Jinxi's text message, and suddenly heard Zhou Nianzi on the side asking, "Brother, are you sending a message to your girlfriend?" β
Zhou Huai was stunned: "Huh? What did you say? β
Zhou Nianzi's jet-black pupils stared at him motionlessly: "Are you in love?" He stretched out his hand and pointed to the mobile phone Zhou Huai was holding: "Are you chatting with your girlfriend?" β
Zhou Huai shook the phone in his hand a little unnaturally, and then reached out and patted him on the head: "What do you say." β
"Your expression just now is exactly the same as Xiao Xian, you look like you're in love," Zhou Nianzi's expression was very serious: "Brother, you don't need to be embarrassed, you're not too young, it's time to talk about love." β
Zhou Huai's expression was stunned, and he tilted the point: "What did you say?" Xiaoxian has a boyfriend? β
"Hmm." Zhou Nianzi was not very happy to respond.
"Then you're not out of love?"
"Well," Zhou Nianzi replied again, his expression was quite calm: "This kind of thing depends on fate, and there is no way without fate." β
Zhou Huai was shocked: Are all current primary school students so precocious?
Zhou Nianzi probably really slept too much before, and he was coaxed to sleep by Zhou Huai until the second half of the night, Zhou Huai had been sleep-deprived during this time, and soon he fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, the bed was empty, and when he got up and went out for a turn, he found that Zhou Nianzi had gotten up early, lying on the side of Bo Jinxi's bed, not knowing what he was talking about. Zhou Huai saw that they were chatting happily, so he ignored them and went downstairs to make breakfast by himself.
Zhou Nianzi stayed at Bo's house for two days before being sent back by Zhou Huai.
He originally wanted to take good care of Bo Jinxi at home, but just in time for the filming of a TV series he signed before, he had to rush to the crew again.
This one filmed by Zhou Huai is a martial arts drama, which tells the story of the hero's parents who were killed by an adulterer and whose family was ruined, and the hero was adopted by a chivalrous guest and later took revenge. The male and female protagonists and other supporting roles in this play have been finalized, and there is no suitable candidate for the male number four.
The reason why the candidate for the male number four has not been decided for a long time is because although there are not many scenes in this role, there are many martial arts scenes, and because of the filming needs, a stand-in cannot be used. You must know that there are not many actors nowadays who can even read their lines well, and it is even more difficult to find those who have martial arts skills.
Seeing that the part of the male fourth was about to be filmed, none of the people who came to audition were suitable, either their martial arts skills were not enough, or their acting skills were not good, Director Zhang couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
On this day, after Zhou Huai finished filming his own scene, the director left him to talk to him, and the two were talking, and Director Zhang answered a phone call, the content of which was nothing more than a few complaints about the delay in the selection of the male number four. After he hung up the phone, Zhou Huai thought about it and said, "Director Zhang, I have a good candidate." β
Director Zhang was anxious at this time, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help blurting out and asking, "Who?" β
"Yao Mingyi."
Director Zhang showed a slightly confused expression on his face, obviously very unfamiliar with this name. In fact, not only is he unfamiliar with this name, but the actors in the crew are also very unfamiliar with this name, because this Yao Mingyi has always played a tricky role, and there are only a few scenes at most.
The reason why Zhou Huai knew him was because he had been his own martial artist.
When filming "Golden Age", Yao Mingyi originally played the male number four, and Zhou Huai watched a few of his scenes at that time, and his performance was very good, and his line skills were okay, but it was a pity that he was cut off by Lin Qingquan. Lin Qingquan also became a small hit with the fourth male in this play, and later successfully entered the ranks of Xiaosheng with his bold appearance in Fashion Week. In terms of momentum, Yao Mingyi has long been left far behind.
Zhou Huai has roughly read the script of the male number four, in addition to requiring a relatively deep martial arts foundation, the requirements for the actor's acting skills are not high, and Yao Mingyi's Cheng dΓΉ is competent enough, so he was introduced to Director Zhang.
Director Zhang didn't care about picking too much at this time, so he nodded: "Okay, then you let him audition tomorrow!" β
